From art-house productions to perfectly timed rom-coms and futuristic sci-fi, these are the biggest, smartest and quietly impressive films that might have passed you by but deserve a place on your watch list.
In the highly anticipated sequel to 28 Days Later, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland return to the post-apocalyptic world. Set nearly three decades after the initial outbreak of the Rage virus, the film follows a group of survivors who have managed to carve out a semblance of life on a remote island.
However, when one member ventures back to mainland Britain, they uncover unsettling truths that threaten their fragile existence. With a stellar cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer, the film promises to reignite the tension and horror that made its predecessors so iconic.
